I can’t vote for Barack Obama because of his near twenty years of association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, he should have left the Trinity United Church of Christ long ago.
Translation:
I will attempt to mask my racism by hiding behind another’s hate speech. However, guilt by association in this instance is dishonest at best.

Obama is the best the Democrats have and that's it. McCain is the best the Republicans have and that's it. Everyone else is ignored and pushed to the side while these two bid for the White House.

Well, it sounds like you've already made up your mind about Barack Obama, so why the post?
Is this your own veiled attempt at describing others who do not believe as you do as racists?
How you know for a fact that he's not a Muslim,
see nothing radical in his desires to invoke mandatory community service or establish is own civilian security force, and offhandedly dismiss his long term associations with Anti-
American and racist individuals like Bill Ayres or Jeremiah Wright, speaks volume about where you're really coming from.
You tell others to do some research before making a judgement, but it's very apparent you have not taken your own advice. All you have to do is open your eyes, and you'll see the truth.

He has a 20 year record of participation, membership and attendance in a RACIST BLACK SUPREMIST christian church. It is preposterous in light of the facts to even suggest that he is a Muslim.

I fixed your quote Cybrseer =) notice my additions in caps
But, but.. I thought Barack Obama was a different kind of Politician, and was going to bring Change, Hope, and Unity to our country?

Barack Obama caters to the "minorities" like any other politician
thats why you have terms like "the african american vote"
The hispanic vote
the christian vote
the female vote
etc etc etc
The only reason your feathers get ruffled is because he's black.
Nobody ever complains when a white man "caters" to a minority for a vote.
So why is it any different from Obama? Because? He's black.
BUT - thats my opinion, and i could be wrong. I base my assertions off of my observations. If i am wrong - i am - by all means - up for re-education.

Now you're saying he just like every other politician, pandering for votes. Say it isn't so Andrew!
I must have missed your post defining change as it related to Obama.. Could you please tell us again what it was?

1.) I never said anything of the sort. You are making up your own assertions of 'change' i've already defined what "change" i see in Obama, and now we see yours.
I do dispute that claim! I believe most people are disillusioned with Barack due to his constant position shifts, his unsavory past associates which continue to pop out of the woodwork, and the constant cries of racism by his proxies. It has nothing at all to do with the color of his skin. If I remember correctly, he is half White too.
2.) I assume from your sarcastic tone that you are not disputing the fact that the only reason people are getting flustered is because obama is, indeed, black......and you don't see any sort of a problem with that?
